Rack-Mounting the BlackDiamond 12802 Chassis

3Slide the chassis into the system rack.

Take care to load the rack so that it is not top-heavy. Start from the bottom and work up.

Do not cover vents that would restrict airflow. Leave a half-rack space between the units for adequate ventilation.

4Attach the chassis to the system rack using eight rack mounting screws. Refer to Figure 35 for the screw locations.
